in Introduce Yourself
Hi, My name is Renee.... I am really, really wanting to lose this 60 extra pounds I have been packing around the last 14 years or so and be strong and confident again. I was always very active and fit, could do whatever I wanted, but after my boys both started school I started working and sitting on my hind end all day long and the weight just crept on and on and on... Uhg, I don't recognize myself and I spend so much of my day trying to cope with how uncomfortable I feel, it just silly bad energy. Both my sons are now moving up and out, like lots of girls, I want to take this time for myself. For awhile no more cooking big dinners (and breakfast and lunches) and all that goes with that. Also truly I'm going to miss them so much that I need to focus on myself or I'll go crazy. Hoping to meet some encouraging folks to trudge forward with and do the same for them. Thanks and chin up : )

    Hi, there !

    That's sort of what happened to me ...... saw a photo of myself & didn't even recognize that person anymore ...... I thought THAT'S NOT ME, and started doing something about it ....... small changes done consistently make for big differences ...... choose the healthiest options at each meal and get some "E" ...... and have fun !

    ;o )
